Looks like the 72 hour bus pass does not cover the bus to the airport ... so am wondering if it is still worth it. Is it much more convenient to have the pass than to pay each time you board? Do you have to purchase the ticket or can you use your credit card to pay on the bus?

Prague is the ultimate city for pedestrians. And transit is necessary if your accommodation is in an outlying location. But after visiting Prague several times, I found walking to be the best form of transit. When a lift is needed. ( perhaps 1-2 tram/metro rides per day) it’s the trams and the metro that I found to be most useful for a visit of 3-4 days.
The 24-hour pass may be a good buy at $5. But with tram/metro tickets only costing about $1.50, I don’t think many will find they use the 72-hour pass enough even to cover the nominal $15 cost. Especially if you’re staying in Prague 1.
Credit cards can conveniently be used to buy individual tram, metro and bus tix from machines near boarding locations.
Be sure to visit the Golden Tiger at Husova 17!
Have a great trip.

You apparently have 72 hours or less for your visit (which is fine). That means you wont be doing much more than Old Town and the Castle. The total area of Prague Old Town is 1/2 square mile if you throw in the Castle Area you are still less than 1 square mile; which makes it about the same size as Disney Land (or 1/5th the size of Disney World). You might use a tram or bus to go across to the castle, but thats about it.
